Haptic Intracorporeal Palpation Using a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot: A User Study.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative palpation is a surgical gesture jeopardized by the lack of haptic feedback which affects robotic minimally invasive surgery. Restoring the force reflection in teleoperated systems may improve both surgeons' performance and p...

A Machine Learning Enabled Wireless Intracranial Brain Deformation Sensing System.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
A leading cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is intracranial brain deformation due to mechanical impact. This deformation is viscoelastic and differs from a traditional rigid transformation. In this paper, we describe a machine learning enabled wi...

Brain-Computer Interface-Based Soft Robotic Glove Rehabilitation for Stroke.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This randomized controlled feasibility study investigates the ability for clinical application of the Brain-Computer Interface-based Soft Robotic Glove (BCI-SRG) incorporating activities of daily living (ADL)-oriented tasks for stroke reha...

Novel Deep Learning Network Analysis of Electrical Stimulation Mapping-Driven Diffusion MRI Tractography to Improve Preoperative Evaluation of Pediatric Epilepsy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical utility of deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) tract classification as a new imaging tool in the preoperative evaluation of children with focal epilepsy (FE).

An Integrated Robotic System for MRI-Guided Neuroablation: Preclinical Evaluation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Treatment of brain tumors requires high precision in order to ensure sufficient treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Ablation of such tumors using needle-based therapeutic ultrasound (NBTU) under real-time magne...

The Impact of ACL Laxity on a Bicondylar Robotic Knee and Implications in Human Joint Biomechanics.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Elucidating the role of structural mechanisms in the knee can improve joint surgeries, rehabilitation, and understanding of biped locomotion. Identification of key features, however, is challenging due to limitations in simulation and in-v...

Compact Bone Surgery Robot With a High-Resolution and High-Rigidity Remote Center of Motion Mechanism.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Two important and difficult tasks during a bone drilling procedure are guiding the orientation of the drilling axis toward the target and maintaining the orientation against the drilling force. To accomplish these tasks, a remote center of...

Visual Servoed Robotic Mouse Oocyte Rotation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
UNLABELLED: Both injection and biopsy of a mammalian cell require positioning and orientation of a biological cell in a three-dimensional space under a microscope. Manual cell manipulation and orientation is the most commonly used method that is base...

Preterm Infants' Pose Estimation With Spatio-Temporal Features.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Preterm infants' limb monitoring in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is of primary importance for assessing infants' health status and motor/cognitive development. Herein, we propose a new approach to preterm infants' limb pose estima...

Design and Integration of a Parallel, Soft Robotic End-Effector for Extracorporeal Ultrasound.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: In this work we address limitations in state-of-the-art ultrasound robots by designing and integrating a novel soft robotic system for ultrasound imaging. It employs the inherent qualities of soft fluidic actuators to establish safe, adapt...
